Guest Computer logon password Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 I have been having problems with svchost and do not seem to be able to fix it. One of the copies of Svchost grabs up to 99% of the CPU and everything else stops dead. The only way to be able to use the computer is canceling the task from Task manager at which point the speakers stop functioning. About three weeks ago I downloaded the latest version of Microsoft Media Player and the problem disappeared for about a week. Without any modifications (no downloads) to the Windows system the problem showed up again. I will be very thankful for the solution to this very annoying problem. Al
Guest JS Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Re: Svchost hogging the CPU up to 99% From Ramesh's web site: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/svchost.htm Also: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314056 To find out more about Svchost.exe entries try Process Explorer: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx Once you have Process Explorer installed and running: In the taskbar select View and check 'Show Process Tree' and 'Show Lower Pane' options. (This will provide some of the detailed info you may need) Expand the Process tree until 'Services.exe' has been expanded. Next move the mouse cursor over the Svchost.exe process that you are interested in. Or expand the Svchost entry if you see a + sign to the left of Svchost entry. (You should now see a pop up with a list of services associated with the Svchost.exe you chose) Next double click on the Svchost.exe process that you are interested in. The 'Properties' Window should now be displayed with numerous tabs available.
